In the lead up to your big day, you may find yourself repeatedly asking, 'have I thought of everything'? With all your plans firmly in place, you discover the day before your wedding that there's been a fire at your venue. You may not be planning to jeopardise the most perfect day of your life, but unfortunately, other factors may. In light of the two unexpected fires at popular wedding venues, The Randolph Hotel and Clandon Park - we thought we'd highlight the importance of arranging wedding insurance.
It may not be something that you've considered before, but wedding insurance is a necessity. Sadly, there may be problems with your wedding that are beyond your control. Your dress supplier may go bust, or your venue may catch fire or flood. Someone close to you may be ill or posted overseas. They're horrible scenarios to consider, but it's still important to protect yourself. With a wedding being such a time-consuming and expensive event, wedding insurance may help you to claim some compensation back to help soften the blow.

The agreement takes the form of a written document which is signed and dated by both parties in the presence of independent witnesses.
